Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 LSK Kvinner (agg: 5-4)
A foul on Cristiane earned Paris a fourth-minute penalty, converted by Véronique Boquete, and the Brazilian then struck a hat-trick to obliterate LSK's 3-1 first-leg lead: a powerful shot on 20 minutes, a 49th-minute header and a third finish on 74 minutes. Marte Berget pulled one back at the death for the Norwegian champions.
Glasgow City 1-2 Eskilstuna United (agg: 1-3)
Olivia Schough volleyed the Swedish debutants into an early lead, but Sarah Crilly smashed in an equaliser just after the break to give Glasgow hope. Schough snuffed it out, though, tucking away her second on 58 minutes after Gemma Fay was unable to hold on to Malin Diaz's shot.
Rossiyanka 2-1 SFK 2000 Sarajevo (agg: 2-1)
The Bosnian side were denied a place in the round of 16 in agonising fashion, substitute José Nahi's header deep into added time denying them an away-goals victory. Tia N'Réhy had nodded the Russian champions in front, but Jasna Djoković replied from the penalty spot on 70 minutes.
Brescia 3-2 Medyk Konin (agg: 6-6, Brescia win on away goals)
Daniela Sabatino's strike (83) proved decisive as Brescia twice came from behind on the night to win on away goals. Liliana Kostova profited from a defensive blunder to put Medyk ahead, and set up Aleksandra Sikora (53) for their second after Radoslava Slavcheva's own goal levelled things up. Cristiana Girelli responded for Brescia (69).
